Another resident Rohit Kaushik claimed that three roads leading to the village are completely broken, because of which road accidents happen frequently in the area.

Kaushik said despite submitting 200 to 250 written complaints to the civic body administration, no action has been taken so far.

"Roads have been in the same broken condition since the last 10-15 years. We submitted at least 200 to 250 written complaints but no action has been taken yet. There not no proper arrangement even at the cremation grounds," Kaushik told PTI.

He further claimed that one of the MCD schools near Katewara village is not in a good condition and has been shut since the last five years.

A purported video also surfaced from Katewara village's ward 30, showing the residents in the area stepping out of their houses, however no one turned up at the polling booths.
